--description--

When adding two vectors, each component of one vector is added to the same component of the other vector. For example, adding (1, 2) and (2, 4) generates a third vector (3, 6), where 3 is the sum of 1 and 2 and 6 is the sum of 2 and 4.

The kwargs dictionary will contain the key-value pairs needed to instantiate a new vector of the same class of the two vectors added together.

Turn the empty dictionary into a dictionary comprehension that iterates through vars(self) and for each key (i) creates a key-value pair, where the key is the same key of the current iteration and its value is the sum of the values of the i attributes of the two operands.

--hints--

You should turn the empty dictionary assigned to kwargs into a dictionary comprehension that iterates over vars(self).

js
({
    test: () => assert(runPython(`
      _Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__add__").find_variable("kwargs").find_comp_iters()[0].is_equivalent("vars(self)")
    `))
})

The dictionary comprehension assigned to kwargs should use the variable i to iterate over vars(self).

js
({
    test: () => assert(runPython(`
      _Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__add__").find_variable("kwargs").find_comp_targets()[0].is_equivalent("i")
    `))
})

The dictionary comprehension assigned to kwargs should use i as the key.

js
({
    test: () => assert(runPython(`
      _Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__add__").find_variable("kwargs").find_comp_key().is_equivalent("i")
    `))
})

The dictionary comprehension assigned to kwargs should assign the sum of the i attribute of self and the i attribute of other to the i key for each i in vars(self). Use the getattr() function for that.

js
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`
node = _Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__add__").find_variable("kwargs").find_comp_expr()
node.is_equivalent("getattr(self, i) + getattr(other, i)") or node.is_equivalent("getattr(other, i) + getattr(self, i)")
`)) })
